Data Scientist @ Cogstate

I’m a Data Scientist in the innovation team at Cogstate. My role primarily involves undertaking data analysis to support the business development and product development of Cogstate tests. I have a particular interest in using computational methods and complex data analysis to better understand the mind, and have experience doing so with a variety of programs / programming languages. I also tutor statistics and data analysis at the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences, University of Melbourne. Previously, I worked as a litigation lawyer.
